Background: Despite the abundance of published studies on prediction models for diagnosing Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), there remains a lack of comprehensive assessment regarding reporting and methodological quality, as well as an absence of examination into the objectivity of linguistic aspects within these stu…

Background: Waterborne enteric viruses are evolving source of disease outbreaks and represent a major threat to global public health. The repetitive assessment of water environments is necessary to manage enteric virus-mediated fecal infection and the probable emergence of different variants. Methods: Here, we detect…

Introduction: Critical limb ischemia has a prevalence in the US of 1.33%, with mortality 15-20% and major amputation 10-40% per year. Stem cell treatment has emerged as a treatment option for the 45% of patients for whom revascularization procedures are not possible. Objective: This study re-examines the data of the P…

As already known, traditional approaches in healing of many kinds of malignant tumors unfortunatelly still gives bad results. Also, our immune system is not able to respond on malignant tumors in an adequate capacity, because they are growing rapidly and they have pretty developed mechanisms in order to avoid our immun…

Purpose: The aim of this study is to comprehensively analyze the application of robotic technology in spine surgery and display the current research status in this field.Methods: To investigate the distribution and characteristics of robotics in spinal surgery, the publications in PubMed and web of science was examined…

Background: An excessive demand for N95 respirators occurred during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. Therefore, health care workers were obligated to reuse N95 respirators, which were intended to be disposable.Aim: The primary objective of this study was to establish a standard procedure for safe disinfection or sterilization …

Falls are a pervasive problem facing elderly populations, associated with significant morbidity and mortality.

In a broad sense, if the oxygen partial pressure is higher than the oxygen partial pressure at atmospheric pressure (21kPa), they can be called high partial pressure oxygen or hyperoxia. Hyperoxia is often used in diving operations, underwater special operations and clinic treatment. When in diving operations. Hyperoxi…

The evaluation of anticancer drugs safety is currently based on considering the worst Adverse Event (AE) in a particular patient. The aim of the study was to define a new method which would better describe the impact of treatment on Quality of Life (QoL), combining Patient Reported Outcomes (PROs) and the monitoring of…

Severe Acute Liver Failure (SALF) is characterized by sudden dysfunction of liver cells in previously healthy persons without known underlying liver disease. Effective therapeutic approaches are necessary in an attempt to minimize the damage resulting from liver failure. Glutamine is considered to be an amino acid that…

Fairy Circles (FCs) are roughly circular, spatially periodic barren patches occurring both along the southwestern African coast, spanning the Namib Desert (NFCs), and in the Pilbara region of Western Australia (AFCs). The origin of both NFC and AFC patterns is still debatable and a subject of ongoing research. Recently…

Static chambers are used to estimate the exchange of greenhouse gases between the soil and the atmosphere, but the presence of plants inside such chambers can alter gas fluxes. This study aimed to determine the influence of forage grass on N2O fluxes emanating from an oxisol in the southern Amazon region of Brazil. A r…
